2013 lineup - glad you subbed?

So now that we know all of the 2013 lineup - are you glad you subbed or were there too many duds that made you wish you hadn't?

Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!

Were there some duds in this year? Yes--everyone has characters they don't value as highly (in my case it would be the FFM, Sky High and Plundor--but I will never say that I'm not happy and grateful to have had the chance to sub in the first place. This line is awesome, and I hope it continues chugging along happily for the next two years (and beyond) so that I can get the rest of my favorites, including Queen Angella, King Miro, Flogg, and the rest!

I'm pretty happy with the two subs this year. Nepthu & Plundor are really the two I don't care for but I may change my mind after I get them in hand. I totally hated SLL but once I got him in hand I thought he was a pretty awesome figure.

I was already happy to have subbed (both Club Eternia and Club Filmation), but seeing the rest of the reveals for 2013 just sealed it for me. Only a couple of figures I'm not thrilled about or dislike, but the good far outweighs the bad in my opinion.

I voted turned out great because I'm around even after selling the unwanted stuff. The Fighting Foe Men and Karatti were BAD choices, which I took a loss on both However after selling King He-Man I recouped that loss. All 3 items I had little interest in.

The rest of the year I'm cool with as I've already got a buyer for NA He-Man and Clamp Champ is VERY unlikely to sell at a loss. Not too thrilled about Geldor, but the rest I'm cool with.

That said, I got my Fangman at cost price and I'm guaranteed Castaspella, Mantenna and Horde Troopers so I'm happy I subbed. Hopefully any profit Clamp Champ sells for makes up for any loss I take on Geldor

Pause for just a second, and imagine if we still had to get these!! 2013 had it's share of unpopular characters, but not that many. The main culprit was the 3 pack and those are done for good.

Every year has had characters I chose not to buy....2013 is no different, other than the fact I had to try to sell 2 figures....still, no biggie....I knew what I signed up for, no sense complaining when I get what I consider a crap character....I knew a few would come....

Let's not forget unlike Star Sisters, more people actually wanted to keep the Foe Men....I personally did, I like Ditz. But, I am really glad the 3-pack is gone, especially since they chose not to pro-rate the sets instead of charging full figure price per figure.... $75 for one MOTUC item that's not a large beast like Granamyr, or a larger vehicle....was ridiculous....

As a HARDCORE Filmation lover I am SUPER happy with the 2013 lineup!!!

LOVE Ram Man, Snake Face, Fang Man, Clamp Champ, Icer and especially Octavia!!! She's my favorite so far this year I think. I just love Horde and Filmation. That was the peak of MOTU for me. When the Hour of Power was in severe syndication rotation!!

I'm a subber anyways, but I wish that I only had one sub! I fell for last years TG's marketing tactics, and ordered two to help out with the cause. Well, not this year, one is just more than enough especially knowing many of the characters aren't vintage or 200X, and if I needed a duplicate of any character, I either go DOS or eBay.

Modulok, Two Bad, Blade?....and more to surely be coming.

Glimmer is Vintage....well Vintage Filmation, more or less.... and Hydron is the only lame duck of the bunch....I can't do two subs, especially not knowing if we'll get a 3rd add on sub for 2014 or not, if it wasn't for Transformers, and maybe an add-on sub....I'd get two subs....one for me, and one for my son, well the extras I don't want anyway....for him, which would be quite a few.

If there's no add on, and Transformers die down and they offer a 2014 lite sub, then I'll get a second.
